Have you ever been to NC for a prolonged time MSgt?

Re: Who else is tired of seeing threads about the textbooks in texas

It's not that people are passionate about it that's annoying, it's that they feel the need to start new threads on it every single time one more thing happens.

"Oh, the board is making these recommendations!"

*starts thread*

"Oh, the board is voting on these recommendations!"

*starts thread*

"Oh, the board approved these recommendations!"

*starts thread*

I used to just merge them, but it's no longer any use. There's a 400 post thread where everyone had their say, and now people are just starting threads over again and going back to the same dumb talking points that we heard 2 months ago.

How about merging them all then closing the thread

Someone makes a new thread about the exact same thing, merge it with the closed thread.
